home now and yeah, i really don't know how to describe it and obvs i'm just one person and my feelings shouldn't be given more weight than anyone else's, but it makes me really uncomfortable to have race and queerness grouped together. i know it's probably a lot more effective to have one thread for both since they're both marginalized groups and also that there are a lot of queer people of color that get overlooked in individual threads but it just feels so bad/weird to me to lump them together idk why i can't explain it.

most of my favorite bands w/ POC members are local bands because thankfully we have a pretty racially diverse local scene here, but apart from that boris smile, swings, little big league, arrange (also queer i think), dead to me, are all great.

also not to be super shameless but i am nonwhite / bi / sort of nonbinary but like cis-passing i guess idk, and i make music :) link in my profile

I totally understand, I just found that when I created the last sort of thread, there was a lot of overlap and it'd be great in terms of diversifying and people finding cool stuff they would have missed. Also be shameless!!!
